Slow Cook Settings
The multicooker has two slow cook settings: Low and High. Use the recommended
guidelines below to determine cooking time and use recipes in this instruction book.
Dishes can be prepared well in advance and cooking time regulated so that food is
ready to serve at a convenient time.
A general rule of thumb for most slow cooked meat and vegetable recipes is:
Cooking Time:
LOW: 6-7 hours HIGH: 3-4 hours
Note:
These cooking times are approximates only and times can vary depending on
ingredients, quantities in recipes and whether the cooking bowl and its ingredients
are hot from searing. As a guide meats such as chicken or small pieces of meat
will have best results when cooked on high for 3-4 hours. Larger pieces of meat
such as lamb shanks will have best results when cooked on low for 6-7 hours.
Cooking Times (with Searing):
When the SAUTÉ|SEAR setting is used prior to
slow cooking, cooking times will be shortened slightly. Check for doneness intermit-
tently during cooking.
Low or High Slow Cook Settings
1. Add all ingredients into the cooking bowl, ensuring denser foods are spread
evenly across the bottom of the bowl and not heaped to one side and the liquid
level is between MIN and MAX markings on the bowl.
2. Place the glass lid into position.
3. Press the LOW SLOW COOK or HIGH SLOW COOK button, then press the
START|CANCEL button to activate the setting. The START|CANCEL button sur-
round will illuminate red and cooking will commence.
4. Allow to cook until the ready beeps sound. The unit then automatically switches to
KEEP WARM setting.
5. The multicooker will remain on the KEEP WARM setting for 5 hours before swit-
ching off.
The Gastroback Design Multicooker Advanced is designed specifically for flavour
layering. A technique professional chefs use to enhance and deepen the taste of
meals by using the same pan for browning onions, searing meats and creating cas-
seroles, curries, soups and bolognaise. For this reason, Gastroback has now deve-
loped a SLOW COOK with a SAUTÉ|SEAR setting to caramelise vegetables and
sear meats before commencing the slow cooker function.
Following is a guide to help simplify the process of slow cooking, allowing you to
